Not too much for me to say about this wallpaper that hasn't already been said: Dalarty has provided a descriptive walk through all the way from the concept idea, to its execution and ultimately its fruition. And you can really see how that careful planning paid off. But it just goes to show, good ideas take time---and a whole lot of patience!

Thank goodness, I can finally get this wall here. AA is finally able to update +_+
Anyway, this wall was for the battle against puppychow16 in The Battlegrounds.
To the wall...Well, I'll have to say this wall caused a lot of probs technically. Photoshop kept on lagging and it got to the point where zooming out takes 3 min to load. Perhaps it's the fact I never flatten my layers... bleh. Used a hell lot of stocks, but I blended it to make that 'smooth' effect. I actually had this idea in mind a while ago, but never got to executing it until I made the challenge. The water was totally CGed from scratch with references from multiple water stocks. The text is horribile because I couldn't edit it...=.=a It was just stuck there after I took away my text layer O_O I'll have to say the hardest part was getting the lighting well blended. I hope you like the feel this wall gives out...it's relaxing. Btw, this wall may appear to be a bit too green for some of you - it differs between monitors. =/
